۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whoever commits a lot of sins without enough penalty for them, God will make him suffer from grief as penalty for his sins. If God does not do so, He will torture him in the grave so that he is left with no sins to witness against him when he appears in front of his Lord to meet Him.”
وقال الصادق (عليه السلام): من كثرت ذنوبه ولم يجد ما يكفرها به ابتلاه الله عز وجل بالحزن في الدنيا ليكفرها به، فإن فعل ذلك به وإلا عذبه في قبره، فيلقي الله عز وجل يوم يلقاه وليس شئ يشهد عليه بشئ من ذنوبه.
